Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Wipers come on by themselves from time to time. 8jb
Side mirrors will not stay in the position the consumer sets it. Dealer notified.
Right side mirror is made of flat glass instead of curved glass. The field of view on the right side is so limited that I believe it could cause a crash when merging or changing lanes. Every other vehicle I have driven in recent years had a curved glass, wide angle mirror on the right side.
Reflective coating is coming off the outsid mirror, can not see out them.
Consumer has noticed that exterior mirrors that are used for towing of vehicle are not adjusted correctly. Mirrors are suppose to show rear tires to curve, not just rear of tires. It very hard to maneuver vehicle under certain circumstances.*ak ford states if consumer wants to replace the defective mirrors, he has to pay for them.
Bottom half of both, inside and outside rearview mirrors do not adjust. It makes it impossible to see the vehicle next to consumer's vehicle. Dealer says they can do nothing.
Right hand exterior mirror has a regular mirror. It does not have a wide angle mirror on it. It limits vision when checking traffic, backing up or even changing lanes. The depth perception is not what it should be.
Rearview exterior mirrors extend out too far, allowing other vehicles and pedestrians to come in contact when vehicle is passing. Dealer has seen vehicle, and can replace the mirrors.
When driver was reversing he could not see clearly the back or trail of the vehicle. On the right side mirror it was hard to focus.
